“Dana was fantastic! We got really fulsome updates and lots of photos of our rabbit while on vacation, and we felt that our pet was in good hands while we were away. Dana is communicative and prompt, and took really good care of Fig - we would definitely like to book her again in the future, and recommend her to other pet owners!”
“Janine was wonderful. She took great care of my little beastie, Squeeks, and was very accommodating about picking up and dropping off keys at a nearby location. She sent pics daily and was clearly someone who knew how to play with cats.”
About: I’ve had pets all through out my life. I am very accommodating and have the most patience when it comes to animals. I love training, and am very familiar with the puppy phase, i’m a pro at midnight potty breaks. If your pet has any routines or weird quirks they enjoy, I love to provide! I currently volunteer at a local shelter and am starting a part time position in April, so I am very available right now, and will be flexible working around my schedule when the time comes. I love positive reinforcement, I don’t believe any animal being submissive or fearful is the goal, respect goes both ways. If you work on training or certain cues I’m more then happy to incorporate them in walks or with meals.
About: I make sure your cat feels safe, respected and well cared for while you're away. Following your cat's routine closely, keeping their space clean and stress-free. I understand feline behaviour, routines and boundaries. Your cat's comfort, safety and happiness always comes first. Whether they are playful, shy or independant I can't wait to meet my new furry friend. I'm a retired EA, and passionate to start my fun second career, working with animals I love. I have a flexible schedule, dependable and available on short notice. I care for pets in their home by following safety, respecting your space, communicating clearly, and keeping pets comfortable, calm, and secure following instructions carefully.
“Madison was a lifesaver when I was in a pinch! Tuna is pretty easygoing, but I'm so grateful she stepped in while I was out of town for 30 hours. Even without an in-person meeting, she visited twice, kept me well-informed, and made everything seamless. Highly recommend!”
“Fiona did daily visits to our cat Kinder while we were away for a week. Communication was easy and she took a lot of time to cuddle with our cat and we appreciate that! Highly recommended”
“Anthony took great care of my cat when I was away, she is very anxious and shy but I felt confident leaving my cat with him, he even took my mail in and sent me updates and a little video to reassure me! I would definitively book Anthony again!!”
“Rebecca was an excellent cat sitter and I would highly recommend her! She made sure she had all the details about my cat’s care, was fast and easy to communicate with, and sent detailed updates about the quality time she spent with my cat.”
About: Hi there! I recently said goodbye to my senior dog, Riley, who was just shy of 13. He was my daily walking buddy, my constant companion, and truly the heart of my home. Losing him has left a big space in my life, and I find myself missing the simple joy of walking with a four-legged friend and sharing that unconditional love and companionship. Because Riley was a senior boy, I have lots of experience supporting older dogs—everything from giving medications to understanding their changing energy levels and mobility needs. I also cared for a cat with long-term health issues for several years, so I’m very comfortable with gentle handling, special routines, and pets who need a little extra attention. Ian has also been around dogs his entire life and helped with Rileys care the last year of his life. His current furry best freind is Sophia the frenchie. He is such a great dog dad to her, making sure her health and wellness is always top priority... and if you know about french bull dogs you would understand this!! ;) We would both love the opportunity to spend time with your dogs, get back to those peaceful walks in nature, and offer the same patience, care, and kindness that we give to our own animals. Whether your pet is young and full of energy or a slow-moving senior with a big heart, We would be honoured to help them feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I am self employed and have a somewhat flexible schedule with various times available to visit your pet or take them for a walk. I am available most mornings, several evenings and weekends. Ian is available most weeknights and weekends. We pay close attention to the little details and will follow any instructions you share so your pet has everything they need to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.
“Katelyn was great with Perry! He’s normally nervous with new people but he adored her from the moment they met. She sent fabulous pictures and we were greeted by one happy guys when we got home. We’ll be booking Katelyn again in the future.”
About: Hi everyone, I currently own a 3 year old bunny named Boris who is half Dwarf and half Lop at 4.7lbs. He is my everything and the first thing I do when I wake up is feed him his pellets in stacking cups and hide treats in his treat puzzle where he'll come to greet me good morning and give me kisses. I then clean his litterbox to keep up to his high standards as well as mine and add fresh tomothy hay. After a lot of napping and play-time for him, he waits patiently at his dinner area for his evening salad consisting of dark, leafy greens, a few bits of carrots, and treats hiding inside which I make myself, at home, using only fresh, natural ingredients. He gets his night-time pets and hay cubes and more play-time from there on out and continues to play after I go to bed as bunny schedules tend to differ from humans. I'm not currently accepting boarding at my house as I'm not the only one living here and there are some people with allergies. I do, however, pet-sit when convenient for both parties for all kinds of animals and have no trouble with specific dietary requirements your pet may have including administering medications. Feel free to ask me anything to determine if I would be a suitable fit to care for your fur baby.
“Carissa took great care of our shy girls! They warmed up to her quickly and seemed to have a lot of fun. It's obvious Carissa has a real affinity for cats; we'd happily have her look after our cats again. The cute pictures and detailed updates were an added bonus!”
“Alex did a perfect job of checking in and feeding our cat, Panther. It's clear to us that Panther was well cared for while we were away, which is a huge comfort. I really appreciate her visiting daily and leaving our home in great shape. Thanks Alex!”

Kenya is great and I will continue to book with her in the future! She was able to accommodate a last minute booking for me and was very gentle and understanding with my cat that has special needs. I felt comfortable and confident leaving my pet in her care and would recommend her to others.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
